Hi,  
This is probably due to missing authentication in your emails or you are trying to send with phpmail.  
Couple of things you can do:

1. You should get a third party SMTP.  
This is how it’s set up: [https://mautic.com/help/email-transport/](https://mautic.com/help/email-transport/)
2. Here is another forum where we are discussing email sending in general:  
[What tool to use to send millions of e-mails per month](https://forum.mautic.org/t/what-tool-to-use-to-send-millions-of-e-mails-per-month/14517/4)
3. To authenticate your emails, you need to set up DKIM, SPF and dMARC.  
[https://www.smartertools.com/blog/2019/04/09-understanding-spf-dkim-dmarc](https://www.smartertools.com/blog/2019/04/09-understanding-spf-dkim-dmarc)

One more thing. If you send an email from yourself to yourself via php, than you’ll probably get the spoofing message. Sender and recipient should be always different.

Good luck!
